Last year it was cosmic orange, now it's the main color of iPhones 18 Pro burgundy red. It's elegant and pretty, although not too flashy, and it gives different shades under different lights. And I have it on my iPhone 18 Pro Max After two weeks of use without the cover, it got scuffed.
No need to apologize for the size Pro Max iPhones. They are really big devices, but that's also why they have such a large display and a huge battery. If this is a benefit for you, you have to accept the size and take into account that if you wrap the phone in a cover or case, it will increase both in size and weight. And iPhone 17 Pro Max It is big, thick and heavy on its own.
I used it for a year, but with the cover on, it was only minirarely and only in "dangerous" situations, like hiking, gardening, etc. I have a MagSafe stand on my desk, so most of the time I spent at the computer it rested in it, nicely in the air. I actually rarely put it on my back.

Even though Apple redesigned the photo module, which runs the entire width of the back, the lenses are constantly sticking out of it, making the phone wobble on the table. And apparently it wobbled in my case too, so much so that I scratched the bottom right corner. You can see how light it is in the gallery above. So it's a scuffed paint, not a scratchance or other damage, it's really just a scuffed orange.

With regard to the cosmic orange, there was a lot of criticism on the Internet about it turning pink. So I didn't suffer from a change in shade over the year, but it's true that I didn't expect this. The phone is otherwise untouched. Even so, it can be understood to a certain extent, if you consider that I used the phone for a year as my main machine and I really maxHe exploited immeasurably.

As I wrote in review, iPhone 18 Pro Max I used the phone without a cover for the entire 14 days since it went on sale, so that I could know and feel better how it heats up. In this regard, the phone was definitely a pleasure. However, while writing the content and taking pictures of the phone for the review, I had not yet noticed what I am now, and in connection with iPhonem 17 Pro Max.
When I saw his worn orange, I just glanced at the same spot on the iPhone 18 Pro Max. And it was a real surprise when I saw the paint peeling off in the same place. It's not grease or anything else, you can't wipe it off with your finger and it's really already polished paint at the most stressed point. Of course, this can have two results. The first is that the abrasion stabilizes and stays at the current level, but the second is that it will continue to peel off even to the color of the aluminum. I will of course keep you informed about the progress.
